I was walking down the street

And there he was

The homeless guy

It got me to thinking

Thinking that the world is a tough place

So many people don’t have what others have

So many people are struggling just to make ends meet

Then I got a little side tracked

So many flavors of smoothies to choose from at the mall

And I was thirsty

When I was having my kiwi/strawberry/mango smoothie in the food court

I started thinking again

So many people take their lives for granted

They have never suffered

And then I noticed someone had left their wallet on a chair

I took the cash out and threw the wallet in the garbage

And walked around the mall thinking again

So many people don’t have malls to walk around in

They can’t buy all the cool stuff that malls have

Then I saw a cool pair of shoes

I didn’t want to use up my cash

So I went back to the garbage and took a credit card out of the wallet

And bought the shoes on the card

And as I walked around the mall scoping for babes in my new shoes

I thought about the people in the world who don’t have nice shoes

And babes to scope

Walking out of the mall a kid passed on a skateboard

He gave me his board when I threatened him with a screwdriver

And on my way home I started realizing that little things can make a difference

People can help

So I gave the skateboard to the homeless guy

I felt so good

I helped him up on it and he started down the road

He lost control and veered out onto the street and was hit by a delivery van

I could have stayed and helped him out

But Klaus and I had meeting with a guy who sells guns

So I ran over and took the skateboard back

The homeless guy wouldn’t be needing it

He looked pretty banged up

And I headed off to meet Klaus

What a nice sunny day
